Act for the heritage

Volunteers workcamps

A volunteer workcamp allows volunteers of any geographical, social and cultural horizons to meet and to contribute together to a common project of development or embellishment of the local heritage.

During 2 to 3 weeks, the volunteers live in a group under the direction of an experienced team of supervisor. They learn in the morning about the traditional techniques of the old built by contributing to the saving of a site or a monument, whereas the afternoons and the weekend are reserved for the discovery of the territory. Those are holidays rich in sense and unforgettable moments.

What’s a volunteer’s workcamp?

Volunteers workcamps bring together volunteers of any ages come from the whole world. Together, they participate in works to restore and protect the characteristic elements of the Provençal and Mediterranean heritage: chapels, fountains, castles, ancient country-houses, cobblestones or sheepfolds ...
